The iOS 15 Thread/Discussion

[whatwhat]

It's that time of the year again for a new operating system.

Anyone else preparing their devices for the first betas?

Doubtful.. no trust in the first couple betas. Maybe a little later

 

[creeper]

I will sacrifice my old iPad Pro.

 

[whatwhat]

Depends on what devices they support. Will install on iPhone SE (although it doesn't seem likely to get IOS 15) and then iPad Pro when the later betas come out.

Glad Apple brought that Live Text feature, used to really like it in my Galaxy Notes.

iPad OS 15 is looking awesome with the new multitasking features, hopefully it’s available for iPad Air 2 as I can test it there and then go to it on my iPad Pro when the final build arrives.

Swift Playgrounds is an interesting app, build apps on iPad for iPad and iPhone, Apple really keep positioning the iPad as a content creation tool but not quite a MacBook replacement, very interesting how careful they are in trying to keep the 2 separate despite them now sharing internal hardware.

Looks like all the devices that supported iOS 14/iPad OS 14 will support 15:

OS - iOS 26

iOS 26 for iPhone with a new design, more helpful Apple Intelligence, polls and backgrounds in Messages, and features that make every day effortless.

OS - iPadOS 26

iPadOS 26 delivers a fresh design, an intuitive, new windowing system, and a more helpful Apple Intelligence, so you can flow through work and play.

Nothing super groundbreaking for me. More privacy and health stuff though which I'll definitely like.

Will wait for the proper release in September

I’m still with an iPhone 6s … wish some could bless me with a XR

 

[Kiemo]

But I’m always excited to see new features

 

[phlux]

Feature I was looking forward to the most. . . And its not available in South Africa

 

[ECHLN]

Installed it on my iPhone X. Performance is a little choppy but so far so good.

Yea that's a bummer...wonder why

Disappointing as I was also looking forward to this.

I did try out the new Hide My Email address feature through beta.iCloud.com and it’s seems really good so far. Feels like a great feature to combine with my 1Password account.

I must be honest. For a beta 1. It’s really good. Sometimes a year of refinement is welcome. Lots of quality of life features and subtle refinements throughout. akin to the Snow Leopard releases of old.

New Safari layout takes getting used to.

I’m sure next year will be some big stuff again.

Maybe the new Cyber bill. Usually it’s regulatory stuff. I was surprised as well.

running it on my 12 pro max, happy so far
